Seminar focuses on Burma

Vietnamese businesses will have an opportunity to gain practical knowledge
about Burma’s investment environment, regulations and changes in key business
sectors at a seminar in HCM City on September 13.

Held by IRVING Seminar and Training, the seminar is designed for
businesspeople that operate in the multinational market with a special focus on
Burma.

Speakers will discuss sectors with high potential, successfully navigating
an investment path in Burma; main challenges and risks; and legal, taxation and
labour law issues as well as customs procedures.

Experts said there has also been a growing interest in business
opportunities in Burma.

According to the latest figures, total foreign investment in Burma reached
40 billion USD by May 2012 ever since the country opened to foreign investors
in late 1988.

The regulatory landscape is slated to undergo substantial reforms in the
upcoming year, including changes to the foreign-exchange regime, land rights,
foreign investment incentives and procedures, taxation and financing.
